- Photograph showing the Elgin Hotel, which was built because of the demise of the Sparta Hotel / Mills Hotel. In 1851 it was known as the Elgin House. In 1872, it was purchased by Freeborn Taylor and named the Ontario House. In 1901, the religious groups in Sparta, led by Rev. J. J. Baker, Rev. W. H. Graham and Dr. G. A. Shannon organized a successful temperance drive. Eventually the Ontario house was bought out and it became the Temperance House.
